Hormonal acne has cleared up - coincidence?!

[lyinginthebathpondering]

Am on week 3 of MJ.

I’ve realised that the spots I’ve had on my face, most notably my chin, have all but gone.

anyone else had this unexpected but welcome side effect?

Yep! I always had spots, always popping up throughout the month. I’ve had about 2 now since October.

Well adipose tissue is oestrogenic so makes sense.

My acne was more to do with my PCOS. From the second month of MJ my period came back and the spots were gone - amazing!

Have you noticed your spots have gone too since starting MJ @FancyLimePoet?

I have had acne for decades and I'm convinced mine is triggered by blood sugar changes/insulin. I don't really understand the connection between that and the menstrual cycle though.

It might be the anti inflammatory effects of Mounjaro helping, there have also been anecdotal stories of Mounjaro impacting hormones (making periods erratic) even before significant weight loss / reduction in fat tissue which also changes estrogen levels. Perhaps the impact it is having stabilising insulin.

Whatever is causing it, it sounds like a great unexpected side effect! 😍
